A new app for those interested to have fun exploring radiographies. Now you can get what doctors get too. []
MyXray is an easy and intuitive app that will let you see your x-ray files as a real doctor. You will be able to get all the details and the extra information that is embedded in x-rays files.

When you take an x-ray the image is saved in a format called DICOM. When you take an x-ray ask your doctor or the radiologist to provide your DICOM file. You can then use MyXray to see that DICOM file. Remember it’s not a normal image. You can’t see it with a common image viewer. DICOM is what doctors and processionals use, and now you can use it too!

What’s the difference with a normal image? Well with a DICOM file you can:

Last year I wrote about my experience with officialiphoneunlock and how I was able to get my money back. The “company” is clearly a scam but somehow it seems that they are still able to get away with it.

Since I wrote about this I got a lot of emails from scammed people asking me how did I do to get my money back. I will tell you how I did get my money back: I was lucky!

In fact “officialiphoneunlock.co.uk” didn’t give my money back and they didn’t even replay to my emails. It’s all explained in my previous post. The company that they used to charge people’s credit cards was the one that refund me. At that time “officialiphoneunlock.co.uk” used daypal.com and I got a call from them saying that they will refund the payment. I think that “officialiphoneunlock.co.uk” is not using daypal.com anymore.

These are pixel level porn macro. I wish I could get closer… To appreciate these pictures you must see them in full resolution. Click the link to see them in flickr. I used this macro.

The screen is really bright and the colours are vivid.

For 150 Euros this phone is more than I expected. It’s really fast, well finished, well designed, extremely light and robust at the same time. It also comes with an all risk insurance. I don’t know if this insurance is available also outside Spain. I spent some time looking for an Android phone with decent storage, a relatively new version of Android, a decent camera and dual SIM. I couldn’t find one bellow 200 Euros. I thought that BQ could be a crap for that price, but actually it’s much better than some competitors in the same range.

I finally took this short video. Maybe you can see here how fast it is and the quality of the screen.

After so many attempts to unlock my iPhone 4S, after being twice a victim of scam from sites offering fake unlocks and after so much hacking with all the unlocks and jailbreaks techniques I found online, I finally found a way to do it. Thanks to my friend Birkir to point me in the right direction.

Based on KingMobile’s site, they also support iPhone 5/5S/6/6+. My experience is based only with the iPhone 4S, iOS 7, Softbank. I would like to know if someone else did it with a different version. Unfortunately it seems that this card cannot be used with an iPhone 4.

The procedure is pretty simple. Inside the package there is a small micro SIM frame with a chip that is the one making the magic. If you don’t have a micro SIM, you can request one or cut one yourself. That’s what I did. Just be pretty sure that you get the dimensions right.

Once you get the SIM in the frame, you have to put the SIM coming inside the envelop first. You will be asked to select your carrier. This is the carrier you want to unlock from. In my case it was Softbank. So select the old carrier, the one that is blocking your SIM.
Then follow the instructions. Once it’s accepted, a message saying that you selected a new carrier appears. After that accept and turn off your iPhone. Once you turned off your iPhone and the screen is black, QUICKLY replace the reset-SIM from KingMobile with your previously cut SIM card. This must be the new card you want to use. This is my girlfriend’s iPhone 4S by the way.

If you are not quick enough, you get this annoying message saying that the SIM is not valid. I repeated the operation again and it worked fine the next time.

Now you have your phone unlocked. Actually it’s not unlocked, technically the iPhone is still locked with Softbank and some menus in the settings still show stuff form Softbank remembering you that Masayoshi Son still owns your soul. Anyway the result is an unlocked iPhone as long as you use the KingMobile chip.

Few things you have to setup before start using your new “unlocked” iPhone.

Set data roaming if you want to get your data connection enabled.
Some carriers require you to setup your APN settings. That means that you have to enter manually the settings to connect with your carrier data network. In my case, it wasn’t necessary. I think that it depends on the carrier.
I got some problems trying to call local numbers, and that was because I entered the number without the country code. It seems that the iPhone automatically puts a +81 (Japan code) in front of every number. To fix this is pretty easy. Just save your numbers with the corresponding country code. Even if you are calling a local number, add the +(country code).
